Andoni Gorosabel Espinosa (born 4 August 1996) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right-back for La Liga club Athletic Bilbao.
Born in Arrasate, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country,[3] Gorosabel represented UD Aretxabaleta and Real Sociedad as a youth, appearing in the UEFA Youth League in 2013.[4] On 11 July 2014, after finishing his formation, he was loaned to SD Beasain in Tercera División,[5] making his senior debut during the season.
Upon returning, Gorosabel was assigned to farm team Berio FT, also in the fourth tier. On 9 July 2016, he was loaned to Segunda División B side Real Unión for one year.[6]
On 16 June 2017, Gorosabel renewed his Real Sociedad contract until 2019 and was promoted to the reserves, also competing in the third level.[7] He made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 21 September, starting in a 3–0 away loss against Levante UD.[8]
On 5 December 2017, Gorosabel renewed his contract until 2021,[9] and spent the remainder of the campaign as a second-choice to Álvaro Odriozola, overtaking longtime incumbent Carlos Martínez. In July 2018, as both Odriozola and Martínez left, he was definitely promoted to the main squad.[10]
In March 2022, he reached the milestone of 100 appearances for Real Sociedad.[11]
On 11 August 2023, Gorosabel signed a one-year deal with Deportivo Alavés, newly-promoted to the top tier.[12] A regular starter for the club, he scored his first professional goal on 10 March 2024, netting the winner in a 1–0 home success over Rayo Vallecano.
On 19 June 2024, Athletic Bilbao announced the signing of Gorosabel on a four-year contract.[13]
